Elden Ring Nightreign Console Testing Announcement

FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a substantial player base from early access.

Bandai Namco has yet to explain the omission of PC players from this initial testing phase. However, selected console users will enjoy a first look before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. While console gamers get early access, PC users will need to await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified that the approximately forty-minute play sessions don't allow sufficient time for message interaction. He stated, "We removed the messaging feature due to insufficient time for sending or reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
